ANGIOGENESIS

Angiogenesis is a process of development for the formation of new blood
vessels, from pre-existing vascular tissue, It is regarded as a sign
of identity of cancer and plays a key role in the development of tumor,
in its capacity invasive and in the development of metastasis. In this
sense, our group has focused in recent years its research effort in the
identification and characterization of new compound inhibitors of the
activity angiogenic.

Our experience in this area has allowed us to establish a sound methodological
basis for the study of modulators activity of angiogenic compounds and
its close relationship with the tumor progression. The collaboration
with various pharmaceutical companies for the search and characterization
of antitumor drugs has allowed us to in addition, the generation of various
national and international patent.
